Time P1DT15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups fresh squeezed orange juice ((6-8 oranges))
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice ((or substitute))
3/4 cup granulated sugar ((or more if needed, if oranges are not overly sweet))
2 cups heavy cream
1 Tablespoon orange Jello*

Steps:

Add orange juice, lemon juice and sugar to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Taste and add a little more sugar if it's not sweet enough. Whisk in cream and orange Jello.
Freeze/churn according to ice cream maker instructions. *If using a modern electric ice cream maker (that doesn't require ice/salt) freeze the bowl of the ice cream maker overnight and refrigerate the liquid mixture for several hours (or overnight), before churning. Both need to be completely chilled.
Store in the freezer for 1-2 weeks, in an airtight container with a piece if plastic wrap against the surface to help keep it from crystalizing.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup Grade B maple syrup*
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
*available at some specialty foods shops or ordered from The Baker's Catalogue (800-827-6836) or Dakin Farm (800-993-2546).
Special Equipment
an ice-cream maker

Steps:

Boil syrup in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in cream, milk, and salt and bring to a boil over moderate heat.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl, then add hot cream in a slow stream, whisking. Transfer to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let boil).
Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean metal bowl, then cool, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.
Freeze custard in ice-cream maker until soft-frozen, then, with motor running, add nuts. Continue churning ice cream until frozen, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

Tips:

Use the best quality walnuts you can find. Fresh, plump walnuts will give your ice cream the best flavor. Avoid walnuts that are dry or shriveled.
Toast the walnuts before using them. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them even more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
Use a good quality orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice will give your ice cream the best flavor. If you're using store-bought orange juice, make sure it's 100% juice and not from concentrate.
Don't over churn the ice cream. Over churning will make the ice cream icy and grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thickened and creamy.
Let the ice cream ripen before serving. After churning, let the ice cream ripen in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to become smoother.

Conclusion:

Toasted Walnut Orange Ice Cream is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your ice cream sweet or tart, with more or less walnuts, this recipe is sure to please.
